The CS for Health Sicily Kariuki has confirmed that the woman suspected to have had Ebola is free from the disease.

Kariuki said the rapid surveillance and response team which has been set up has examined the patient who is in stable condition and does not fit the case definition of Ebola.

The 36-year-old had traveled from Malaba town on the Kenya-Uganda border and presented herself on June 16, 2019, to a health facility in Kericho after experiencing symptoms of headache, a fever, and vomiting.
